He's always done well giving campaign speeches.
As far as the CNN poll, like any poll, take it with a grain of salt. It was a very poor sampling of people when 18% of the respondents who participated identified themselves as Republicans and 45% identified themselves as Democrats.
But whatever, that's the game of polls. It's part of politics. You just need to understand it. I always look at the "Real Clear Politics" polls. They average out many different sources.
So the "direction of the country" is quite different than your source. 58% wrong track and only 35% right track.
RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Direction of Country
